Chapter 1806: Face-slapping, Act Five (1)

“She’s been trying to look after you, but before she knew it, she became your burden.

“Have you ever stopped and tried to imagine how much pressure she’s under and how guilty she must feel?

“Such guilt and pressure will become her strength!

“Do you want to see the same thing happen again?

“Are you going to keep her under your wing forever?

“With the speed of your advancement, you’ll become a Spiritual Lord when you take the seed of the spirit source. The difference between the both of you will grow even bigger.

“It’s not just her. The gap between you and those few you want to protect will only get wider.

“You keep moving forward, and they can only watch you from behind. If they don’t improve themselves, they won’t be able to do even that. One day, you’ll be so far away that they can’t even follow you.

“When that time comes, how are they supposed to face you?

“Feng Wu, if you want what’s best for them, you have to stop planning everything for them! They have their own paths! They also want to get stronger! They want to catch up with you!”

…

The white fairy gave a very long speech, and each sentence was like a stick hitting Feng Wu over the head, reminding her of a lot of things.

She finally realized a serious problem.

She talked about protecting her family all the time, but if they themselves weren’t strong enough, her protection would only bring them more danger!

Turning around, Feng Wu told Qiuling the truth about the spring.

“Going inside the spring will be very painful, more painful than walking on knives or jumping into boiling oil, but it’ll be very rewarding.

“The longer you can stay inside, the purer your Ultimate Yin Body will become, and the more improvements you’ll make.

“I’ll neither encourage you nor force you.

“You’ll have to decide for yourself if you want to go in or not.”

Feng Wu stared at Qiuling with the most serious look in her eyes.

“I’ll do it.”

Qiuling spoke affirmatively after hearing Feng Wu’s explanation.

Feng Wu frowned. “Remember, it’ll be very painful.”

“Miss, I know.” The smile on Qiuling’s pretty face was sincere and bright. “I want to become stronger. I want to be able to catch up with you. I don’t want to see the day when you’re beyond my reach…”

Feng Wu stood there, dazed.

That was almost exactly what the white fairy had said.

Qiuling was smiling when she said this, but there was something so serious and powerful about her smile, and she had never looked so strong.

Feng Wu turned to look at the white fairy.

The white fairy shrugged. “She can’t hear me, but you know I’m telling the truth, don’t you?”

Feng Wu didn’t reply. She turned to look at Qiuling and said in a serious tone, “You can give it a go first. Don’t overextend yourself.”

Qiuling nodded, but she wasn’t going to tell her mistress what she really thought.

Seeing the ghosts that kept coming out of the spring, Feng Wu looked at the white fairy with a frown.

The white fairy said grumpily, “Have you forgotten about your Ghost King Seal? Stamp the four corners of the spring, and no ghosts will dare come close.”

Feng Wu did as she was told. Indeed, the ghosts all avoided them, and the spring was soon ghost-free.

They all hid in the corners and didn’t dare come any closer.

“Miss, I’m going in.” Qiuling gave Feng Wu a long look, as if she was ready to die.

Feng Wu was pained by that look. She knew that once Qiuling stepped into the spring, some things would never be the same again.
